Funny they do this and some of these tribes in the past were tolerant of what used to be called “berdache” behavior.

My guess is that their tax status won’t be challenged.

The lavender mafia will soon launch an assault and boycott on the Indian casino business. “Hypocrites!” “Intolerant bigots!” “yadda yadda yadda!”

Prediction: They’ll be bribed or coerced into it.

Uh -O!

By my calculations Captain, this narrative mixes together Liberal Matter and Anti-matter, and should result in a giant head explosion.

Solution: Stand by for the State Run Media convoluted, flaming hypocrite explanation of how the simple, gentle, victim class of the American Engine is in fact not gay bashing another member of the victim class.

When worlds collide...

They were as tolerant then as they are now.

Such people were considered "clowns" or "dandies". They were generally restricted to certain professions and never allowed to be warriors.

Certainly they were never allowed to act like they were married and take children from other normal couples to raise as their own.

They were regarded, much as mentally defectives, dwarfs and epileptics were, as "spirit touched". This was not generally considered a good thing.

The tribes have a sovereignty from the dictates of the federal government that states can only dream of.

Do they also prohibit Skittle-crapping unicorns with wings?

Oh, those don’t exist?

Neither does gay marriage. Oxymoron. Like “Madonna’s Music”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_marriage_under_United_States_tribal_jurisdictions

A list of the 24 tribes that do recognize SSM, including, The Blackfoot and the united tribes of the Cheyenne and Arapaho, is on Wiki.

An additional 76 tribes are listed as “might recognize,” meaning, these tribes may simply follow the policy of the State their Nation resides in or their Tribal Councils have yet to resolve the matter explicitly, one way or the other.

As Sovereign Nations, each tribe decides for Its People. If they wish to prohibit the color blue from being worn on their Lands, they can enforce that decree by Law. Should US Marriage Laws be made non-discriminatory towards same-sex couples, the tribes, still, may uphold their own set of Marriage Laws, much like a Foreign country might do. It could be, some Councils may move towards automatic conveyance of same-sex marriages performed on the US Territory side but not offer the licensing of those marriages on Tribal Grounds. Again, it will be interesting to watch how all this unfolds.
